The patent states: 'Human recipients and/or other humans may use gestures to communicate with the machine to help the drone follow its path to the delivery location.'

If one is 'welcome' Ways to wave, drones can interpret gestures as instructions for delivering packages.
The patent describes in detail several components of the drone, including communication, navigation, gesture determination and delivery components. The drone will also be equipped with one or more optical sensors, depth sensors, visible light cameras, infrared cameras, and auditory sensors. And depth perception camera.
Although the concept of this drone is impressive, it is still only a patent, and it is unclear whether the drone will actually be put into production. Amazon also submitted other patents that have not yet been converted into products, including one Self-destructive drones and mirrors that allow users to wear virtual clothing. In fact, the concept of drones that can interact with humans is not new. Samsung also has a similar drone patent that can detect Faces and gestures, and DJI's Spark drones can also respond to waves.
